Disillusioned and Bored has written perhaps the definitive response to Tony Blair's reply to the ID card petition in Extent Of Blair's ID Card Intrusion Revealed . It's not my intention to rehash the issue here but simply to conclude with Guido's words:
The Downing Street e-petitions exercise tells us something fundamental about Tony Blair and his government. They are not listening, your opinion is irrelevant. They view the e-petitions project as a means by which they can put their case to opponents. Tony doesn't take note, a million signatures against road pricing merely means that they will have to explain it again and again until they get their way.
